Setting the Arcade on Fire

September 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

On Thursday night I was part of “the most polite giant mob” Win Butler had ever seen.  Hometown heroes, Arcade Fire, drew a crowd of 75,000 people for their free show which, both concluded their international tour and kick-started the 10th annual indie-music festival, POP Montreal. This has been a fantastic year for the band, in August 2010 they came out with their third studio album, The Suburbs. The Suburbs received wide acclaim by both music critics and fans. The NME’s […]

“We are Stars and so are you”

September 16, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I loved them when I was 14 and I love them now. The band Stars are Montreal legends. It has become tradition that, every autumn, the lovely Ms. GB and I attend a Stars concert in the fabulous city that both we and the band calls home. Sadly, my bestie and I are parted at the moment, but I was fortunate enough to be asked by another stellar individual to go to a free Mother Mother and Stars concert organized […]

Mother Mother Concert in Mac store July 2011, Molly Guldemond

Mother, May I?

July 19, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

So far I’ve avoided listing a song by the same band twice, but yesterday I attended a free Mother Mother concert at the Apple Store in downtown Montreal (I know!) It was fantastic and deserving of a post. As I lined up alongside fellow music hipsters/snobs, cars on the street and passerbys stopped to ask “what’s the new gadget?” Our response that it was a concert upstairs by a group called ‘Mother Mother’ only served to increase their looks of confusion. I’d […]

The Beautiful Théâtre Corona

May 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Le Théâtre Corona is a beautiful concert hall in Montréal. It was built in 1912 for screening silent movies with a pit orchestra to provide accompanying music. Today, if you go down to the stage you can see the outline of where the pit used to extend out towards the audience. Apparently the theatre was a huge hit in the first half of the century, but in the 1960s it fell into the hands of the city. Under the banner […]

Merch at the Rock Show

May 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I took this photo of a merchandise table a couple months ago at the concert of one of my favourite bands. The track I’ve selected is not from this unnamed group but is off of The Black Key’s 2010 album “Brothers.” The entire disk is solid from start to finish. I love the old school style of rock these guys have. Most of the tracks have these persistent beats that are both simple and creative- the result is addictive sound […]
